You can just go and watch, but it is considerably more fun to get in on the action. REmember, it is just acting silly, and most of this people you will never see again. On the Liberty in Feb. the Quest was a bit flat--only people really participating were the team captains, very little audience (team) participation called for or necessary. You didn't get in on the action much at all if you weren't one of the eager volunteers to captain. My husband did lose his pants (our daughter was a captain, the things you do for love) but mostly it was the two brave souls down on the floor who had to do the work. This hadn't been the way we experienced it in the past.
